Chapter 532: Chapter 531: Already Giving You Face
"Why?"
Yamamoto Sosuke looked at Xu Xin with a puzzled expression, "We are both martial artists, discussing Martial Arts to progress together, what is there that cannot be asked?"
As he spoke, he said to Yang Fei, "Of course, in exchange, we could also teach you one of our unique skills."
Xu Xin looked anxious and nervously glanced at Yang Fei, "Yang ... cough cough, cousin, you ..."
Seeing him so anxious that he was sweating, Yang Fei smiled slightly and shook his head, "It’s alright."
He then said to Yamamoto Sosuke, "This cultivation technique of masking a martial artist’s aura is very precious, if you want to exchange, you’ll have to offer a unique skill that I find interesting and worth the trade."
Yamamoto Sosuke smiled and said, "Naturally."
Yang Fei, smiling, said, "I’ve heard that the Kagaya Ryu is particularly proficient in swordsmanship, which has been the greatest reliance of the Kagaya Ryu for hundreds of years. May I have the chance to see this swordsmanship?"
Kagaya Turtle paused, surprised that it was Yamamoto Sosuke wanting to learn Yang Fei’s secret technique, while the opponent was interested in his family’s swordsmanship.
Seeing Yamamoto Sosuke giving him a covert glance, he said to Yang Fei, "Kagaya Ryu swordsmanship is never taught to outsiders, but since you are Xu Xin’s cousin and have the technique of concealing one’s aura to offer in exchange, I can demonstrate it for you."
Chiba Susumu looked meaningfully at the group and said with a smile, "This is how you martial artists are, always fond of waving swords and sticks, how uninteresting." Saying this, she walked to one side and sat on the sofa.
Soon someone brought a katana.
All the people in the room gathered around, obviously most of the young people loved watching the action.
Kagaya Turtle held the katana handle in one hand and the sheath in another, ready to draw the sword at any moment.
In front of him, someone placed a stool with three apples arranged in a triangular formation.
"Mr. Tang, watch closely, I will only perform this once," Kagaya Turtle said confidently.
Yang Fei nodded with a smile.
Whizz!
A clear sound rang out.
Like a streak of lightning flashed through the room, and then all was calm.
Yang Fei was slightly surprised, but a mocking expression soon appeared on his face.
"Wow!"
The three apples turned into six.
Each one was split into two.
And it was that kind of precise split from top to bottom.
The three apples arranged in a triangular formation were evenly split from top to bottom, which must have required three cuts.
But just now, everyone only saw a flash of sword light.
Before people could understand what had happened, Kagaya Turtle had already sheathed his sword.
It seemed like he only made one cut.
"Too fast!"
"Damn!"
"Is this the Kagaya Ryu swordsmanship? It’s incredibly powerful," someone exclaimed.
Xu Xin also showed a look of envious amazement.
Kagaya Turtle straightened up, a proud look on his face, and said to Yang Fei, "With this swordsmanship, do I qualify to exchange for your technique?"
Yang Fei sighed, his face showing deep disappointment, and shook his head, "Not enough."
Kagaya Turtle was taken aback and then became furious, "Damn it, how dare you belittle Kagaya Ryu Swordsmanship?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "It is quite disappointing. Your technique merely relies on the quickness of your strike, but compared to a friend of mine, it really doesn’t hold up."
"Impossible!"
Kagaya Turtle was enraged and stared at Yang Fei, demanding, "Who is this friend of yours, and how could his swordsmanship possibly surpass Kagaya Ryu Swordsmanship? Kagaya Ryu Swordsmanship is the fastest in the world."
Yang Fei shook his head, "Your single stroke only cuts three apples. My friend, with the same duration from drawing the blade to sheathing it, can cut seventeen apples."
"Is it the same cutting method?" Kagaya Turtle’s expression drastically changed as he asked.
The others also showed shocked expressions, but someone quickly shook their head in disbelief.
Yamamoto Sosuke said, "Even the most skilled samurai of the Kagaya family can only slice thirteen apples in one stroke."
The slicing they referred to was of course using the same method demonstrated by Kagaya Turtle, not lining them up and sweeping across.
"Exactly, you must be lying," Fujita Chong also immediately exclaimed.
Yang Fei looked innocent and said, "I’m telling the truth; he is also one of your Martial Artists from Japan."
"Oh?"
"Is he Japanese?"
"Is he not from the Kagaya Ryu?"
The tone around softened a lot. If the expert who could slice seventeen apples in one stroke as mentioned by Yang Fei was indeed a Japanese martial artist, they would be able to accept it and would even take pride in it.
"Impossible! Who is he?" Kagaya Turtle shouted loudly.
The status of Kagaya Ryu Swordsmanship was at stake, and he vowed to defend it to the death.
"He is from the Umekawa family. He said the Umekawa Family’s swordsmanship is the strongest in the Japan Martial World. I didn’t believe it initially, but seeing the renowned Kagaya Ryu Swordsmanship being so mediocre today, I’m convinced," Yang Fei declared.
"Damn!"
Kagaya Turtle grew furious, his gaze angrily fixating on Yang Fei as he exclaimed, "The Umekawa family’s swordsmanship is worth nothing, and the Umekawa family is nothing but dust in front of our Kagaya family. They will soon bow and submit to the Kagaya clan."
"Heh, I think you’re boasting. According to my friend, the Umekawa family belongs to the top tier among families in the Japan Martial World, nearly equal in strength to the Kagaya Clan. If you truly had the ability to make the Umekawa family bow down, why would you wait until now?" Yang Fei said loudly, defending his friend.
"Am I boasting?" Kagaya Turtle fumed, veins popping on his forehead.
Although he, along with Yamamoto Sosuke and Fujita Chong, appeared friendly towards Xu Xin, greeting her with bows and humility, these Japanese individuals inherently looked down on Xu Xin and Yang Fei.
Especially as martial artists, they harbored a natural hostility towards martial artists from the Divine Continent Country.
At that moment, when Yang Fei brought up the Umekawa family and insisted on calling him out for boasting, Kagaya Turtle could no longer hold back. Cold light flashed in his eyes, and he glared menacingly at Yang Fei, "You Chinese don’t know anything. The Umekawa family is nothing to the Kagaya and Yamamoto families. Their past glory will soon become history. The Umekawa family still exists because they are still of some use."
Yamamoto Sosuke’s eyebrows furrowed as he rebuked, "Kagaya Turtle, are you drunk? Why start talking nonsense?"
Kagaya Turtle was startled, then his eyes cleared a lot and he slowly calmed down, realizing he had misspoken, but he still couldn’t help saying, "What is there to fear, what can this Chinese do even if he knows?"
Yamamoto Sosuke couldn’t help but laugh. He walked up to Yang Fei, placed a hand on his shoulder, and said, "I apologize, Kagaya might have had too much to drink. Don’t mind him, just consider what he said as nonsense."
He spoke in a cheerful manner, but the look in his eyes suddenly turned sharp as ever, filled with a chilling intent.
Especially the hand he placed on Yang Fei’s shoulder seemed casual, but it actually contained a very strong force.
Yang Fei glanced sideways at him, "He called me a ’Chinese.’"
Yamamoto Sosuke laughed out loud, a cold flash in his eyes. His hand on Yang Fei’s shoulder suddenly turned into a steel claw as he sternly said, "Considering Xu Xin’s sake, I have shown you much face already."
Xu Xin’s expression changed drastically, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Yamamoto, please calm down, my cousin he..."
Yang Fei glanced at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin was instantly stunned, a profound fear of soul being stripped away from the body emerged, leaving her speechless.
Yang Fei did not pay attention to Xu Xin; he turned to Yamamoto Sosuke, showing a bright smile, "I have always earned my own respect, not relying on others. Moreover, I am quite interested in you now and would like to learn something from you, you should be willing to satisfy this small request of mine, shouldn’t you?"
